Unless your course is CIE which I think is different

Just for everyone's clarification in CIE your raw marks from all the AS and A2 papers need to reach a certain point for the A* to be awarded. It is not possible to get an A* with 90% at A2 and 80% at AS. Generally you need 90% average on both AS and A2...sometimes even that is not enough. For Example - CIE Maths is on 250 Marks ( 4 papers 75+75+50+50 ). If you get less then 230/250 your eliminated from getting the A*.

I have no idea why Cambridge has such different and difficult rules and I think its quite unfair for the people sitting CIE.

so for me to get an A* i need to resit unit 1 and get 80 ums or more
and also get 81 ums or more on unit 4

so to sum up i need 320 ums / 400 ums and 180 or more must come from A2 and an A in AS

correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't think you need to resit unit 1 to get an A*; with 81 from unit 4 you'd have 355/400 which is well into the A boundary, with 180 of those from units 3 & 4 so you'd have an A*
